eating colors for health


 we all know by now that eating clean & organic is always the way to go when possible. processed foods, fast-food & sugars are just not healthy for us.

what is healthy? 
a moderate amount of lean protein, tons of fruits & veggies, a moderate amount of healthy carbs. 
eating clean tends to make us feel better about our bodies, gives us energy & is good for our skin & beauty. add in some exercise & you're living a healthy lifestyle! 

side note: carbs release serotonin so do not cut carbs out of your diet completely. you'll get very sad. it's a fact. there are studies that prove this. 

 eating colors for health:

{white = immune support}
examples: cauliflower, mushrooms, garlic, onion, potato, beans

{green = detoxification}
examples: edemame, spinach, broccoli, cucumber, peppers, limes, green apples, green onion, green beans

{yellow = beauty}
examples: pineapple, squash, banana, lemons, yellow peppers

{orange = cancer prevention}
examples: oranges, grapefruit, orange pepper, sweet potato, carrot, mango, papaya, cantaloupe, pumpkin

{red = heart health}
examples: strawberries, cherries, red pepper, radish, apple, tomato, berries, beans
